ok. maybe I didn't say this the right way. Back in the day when you used to dial-up to connect. you used Telnet to connect to them. I'm not talking about that old BBS system. I'm talking about a web based BBS. Now days they call them forums but back in the day they were referd to as BBS. people now days are using PHPBB or YABB. I am looking for a BBS or Forum like the one like this that was in between those eras. These are not fancy and does the basic.
